The trophy, donated by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), honours former Scotland and British & Irish Lions internationals Dodie Weir, who revealed earlier this year that he is battling Motor Neurone Disease, which is currently incurable.

The trophy will be retained and competed for when the two countries meet under similar conditions in the future.

Scotland have not won in the Welsh capital since 2002, though the Scots triumphed 27-13 in last year’s Six Nations meeting at Murrayfield.
